Hi I have bought a Swann DVR 4 Pro Net and cant seem to connect to it via the cat 5 cable. I have checked the setting on the video server E login as IP 192.168.1.10 port 80 user name and password are admin and I have changed my TCP/IP address to the range of the above IP (1 to 255 but not 10) but it still says Login Failed Rang Swann in the Uk and they told me they would call me back any help/advice would be great
